The inherent gift of Marquez is his ability to decode the bewildering algorithm of Pacquiao’s ring kinetics which none of Pacquiao’s vanquished opponent was able to decipher. The languid outcome of their last bout was dictated by the intense warfare of study and counter study of body mechanics so much so that they abdicated their reckless abandon that characterized their first two fights. Not good for stage.

Pacquiao has been the final Chemistry examination to an English major, but for a gifted math wizard like Marquez, getting an A just required two refresher courses. He flunked the quizzes four times when he hit the canvass but he stood up and finished the finals with flying colors. Enhancing drugs has nothing to do with his genius. Thus, in my boxing journal, Juan Manuel “El Dinamita” Marquez has the brain cell of Steve Jobs. He found a way to sting Pacquiao several times. He just however forgot to light up his dynamite.
